I don't know what bounties is. Is it that what newbies doing? is it illegal or do they cheat with multiply accounts?

That last question sure does make it sound like you know exactly what bounties are, lol. Assuming you really don't know, they're kind of like signature campaigns where members get paid to promote something--except bounty managers are/were notorious for accepting anyone who could use a keyboard. And yes, bounties got abused harder than anything I've seen abused on this forum thus far. There were alt accounts enrolled in the same bounty, fake social media accounts being employed, and other stuff I can't even think of right now.

Plus bounty hunters often didn't get paid, because they'd do all the advertising "work" up front, hoping to get paid in whatever shit token was being pumped and dumped, and a lot of times the owner of the coin/business/whatever would screw everyone over in the end.

I thought most of that came to a screeching halt in late 2017/early 2018 when the ICO bubble popped, but I haven't kept tabs on what's been going on, so who knows. But if you're wondering why there's a baseline level of paranoia among some of the older members of bitcointalk, what I just described is one of many reasons for it.

I have no idea what it is I have heard of it all over the place but never look into it I think because I already got money and a good portfolio of crypto. And you can think and believe what you want mate it really doses not concern me at all, but I appreciate that you explained it for me. But I still not understand why people choose to do all this that must take hours same with a sign campaign (the cheaters with many accounts like this)
Why don't fucking get a job or trying to get one or educate and in the end you will earn so much more... For me it's the logic isn't there. Makes zero sense. Even if you work-less or from a poor country, you can always do something if you work hard enough. And I know that because I started from zero and am far away from the bottom now (In the real life)

Have a great week man and good luck with the hunting.
All respect
